⚡️ #ZoneATTACKTips ⚡️ Looking for an easy wrinkle against a 2-3 zone? Use a 2 guard front and pop your middle player out to the top of the key to shoot/reverse the ball. Keep a corner player for "one more". Multiple 2v1 advantages created using "22 Flash"! #GetBetterBasketball

Need to IMPROVE transition offense and defense this season? Try this competitive game that works on transition O, finishing, and decision-making on O! On D players work on SPRINTING in transition & it is a great drill for full court pressure teams! #GetBetterBasketball

Looking for a HORNS set with inside and outside options? Really like this simple set St. Joe's used against VCU in the A-10 Tourney. Great way to get a playmaker the ball in space! #GetBetterBasketball

SHOOTING DRILLS | Drive and Kick Progression Great progression shared by @coachbrock in a previous #GBetBBChat that includes some great SSGs. Really like the advantage "lift" drills to teach "one more" passing and to get up live game shots! #GetBetterBasketball

Make this adjustment to the 2-1-2 press to FORCE MORE TURNOVERS! I love showing zone pressure and jumping to M2M to keep opponents off balance and guessing where the trap will come from next! #GetBetterBasketball #FOCUSED

Need a 5-out action to get you downhill into the paint? Loyola-Chicago "Scissor Chicago" action creates an advantage to attack the paint and can easily become a continuity! Many options off this simple action! #GetBetterBasketball

#ShootingDrills | FORM Never too young to get in a little form shooting! I recommend using a smaller ball and low hoop with focus on upper body to begin and building on it. *My son is very excited he gets his own video, show him some love 😁 #GetBetterEveryDay #FormShooting

Transition Games | "War" Drill One of my all-time favorite games to play in practice. Great rebounding drill, but you can also start it off a BLOB or half court possession depending on your focus. Play down and back & emphasize areas you want to grow! #GetBetterBasketball
